Ethics and knowledge?
Survival of the fittest is an evolutionary explanation of development of organisms.
Among early humans, probably the physically strongest led. Up until recent times, royalty ruled over their kingdoms.
Although they credit the Greeks with democracy, they had slavery.
I tend not to believe history now. History taught in Russia, China, Japan, North Korea and other countries try to glorify their heritage and deny negative aspects.
Koreans invented the printing press before Gutenberg. The evidence is is our museums. But who knows, some other people could have invented it before Koreans.
Back to ethics and knowledge. It seems that with the rise of human rights, democracy, free speech, and such, technology also advanced accordingly.
Education used to be only for royalty and higher class. Free education as a right is a recent thing.
A belief or faith that "good" (or something like a good energy, entity, or dimension) will lead to a better world seems to have created the conditions for humans to develop technology rapidly?
It's hard for me to believe humans are inherently intelligent and solely responsible for all the technological and social advances. Humans were not so smart for around a million years (first human ancestors appeared two million years ago). Why now?
Took a long time to abandon animal instincts and snap out of that survival of the fittest loop.
A Good dimension where Good resonates and is amplified?
